Overview

Key Facts and Outcomes

Students who complete this degree may directly enter the finance industry, enter other industries where applied mathematics training is appropriate, or pursue advanced degrees in economics, finance or the mathematical sciences.

Students entering the work force upon completion of this degree may wish to later complement their undergraduate degree with a Master's degree in Business Administration or another professional degree.

Students who might eventually pursue doctoral degrees in economics, finance, statistics or mathematics should seek advising on how to use their electives in order to prepare for graduate work in their chosen disciplines.

The Carnegie Mellon University Bachelor of Science in Computational Finance is an Intercollege Program. Students may pursue Computational Finance as their primary major with either the Mellon College of Science (MCS) or the Tepper School of Business (Tepper) as their home college. The coursework required for the major is essentially the same in each case, with a few minor exceptions outlined below. The general education requirements for the degree depend on the student's home college.
